Contributing to NIL

Building an adapter (making a backend speak NIL) is a different, lighter path that changes no normative text — see docs/contributing-an-adapter.md. The rules below govern changes to the standard itself.

  • Discuss in an issue before normative PRs. Use the proposal template.
  • Normative language uses RFC 2119 keywords; everything else is informative and marked so.
  • Every normative proposal MUST include a §15 (Security considerations) analysis. "It's convenient" is not a security analysis.
  • Implementation experience in the reference implementation is required before merge (GOVERNANCE §Change process).
  • Examples and schemas are code: they run in CI (schema validation + example conformance).
  • Editorial fixes: PR directly, label editorial.
  • Be specific, be kind, assume good faith. (CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md applies.)
